Ellermans House – Bantry Bay

Ellerman House sits perched on the slopes of Lion’s Head in the prestigious Bantry Bay residential area in Cape Town. The elegant Cape Edwardian mansion was once the home of the shipping magnates, Sir John and Lady Ellerman and is known for having one of the most beautiful ocean views in South Africa.

Their expansive collection includes works by Pierneef, Laubser, Preller and Sekoto. Contemporary South African art is well represented by John Meyer, Debra Bell and Kentridge amongst others. Their art gallery artfully tucked into the mountain is a masterpiece in its own right.

Private Residence – Cape Town

We have the opportunity to work with many different designers, here Colin Elias and his client, renovated a rather dull home into one which is bright and spacious. We were asked to frame many different types of artworks and together with Colin, found contemporary solutions that were not necessarily white box frames.

The interplay of colour, texture and depth added to the atmosphere of the house and the results are spectacular.
